This older style holiday home has large rooms and sleeps 13 (4 QS beds, 5 singles) plus stunning views. the owners are upgrading the property but it is very comfortable as is. Nice kitchen, two modernised bathrooms, one older style bathroom and two large sitting/family rooms plus a very usable deck to enjoy the view. Only a 10 min walk to the nearest beach and 5 mins in the car to Lorne central and the SLSC beach.
We will book again.
Negative = House has no name 'Bertram' or number on it?
Both rear doors had no keys? however staff rectified this promptly. Cars can be driven to rear of house and easily unloaded to upstairs kitchen and bedrooms.
We understand its pet friendly but carpets were filthy and should be floorboards or tiles throughout (same as kitchen & dining areas) or carpets cleaned regularly. We were told further renovations/improvements are happening.
House was very clean in and out but has a musty smell and needs regular airing.
Downstairs has no heating or cooling?
For the money we paid, at least wifi should available.
Positive: Contact staff were friendly, helpful & efficient = Thankyou very much.
Upstairs has been renovated and is very comfortable.
Bed linen, sheets, pillows & doonas are supplied. There are beds for 10 people.
Kitchen very well stocked and even basics are in pantry.
Great open fireplace (lots of wood avail) & also great ocean views.
Quiet & peaceful and even had a mama kangaroo on our front lawn for a few days.
A relaxing 45 min beach walk to Lorne.
Generally we had a good stay and would book again if carpet issue addressed. Its a great place for larger families with pets to stay.

Hi William,
Thank you for your feedback on your recent arrival at Bertram - 91 Dorman Street. We apologise for the disappointment. We thank you for allowing us to serve you. We are thrilled to know you enjoyed your stay. Rest assured that your remarks have been shared with the appropriate team.
We look forward to your next visit!
Beautiful view and very large and comfortable.
It’s a 25 min walk to town but it is beautiful.
We took our dogs and the only thing that wasn’t clear is that if there was an enclosed backyard which there wasn’t. It was ok as they hung out on the balcony though.
Otherwise I do recommend!!

Big House and Great Location
This house is in a great location in Lorne. Great views and within easy walking distance to the beach and only 20 min walk to the town centre. The house is large with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and comfortable beds.
There's plenty of cutlery and crockery and the kitchen is awesome! Good sized fridge and plenty of cupboard space. There are 2 living areas - one upstairs and one downstairs which is great for the kids to hang out. The house is gradually being renovated and will look great once completed. The only downside was that the carpets were not cleaned properly after previou guest had pets inside, the bath had not been thoroughly cleaned and the place could do with some pest control, as there were spiders, bugs and cobwebs around the place.
Other than that, we would definitely stay here again with a large group as it was ideal for our purposes.

Comfortable with fantastic location
We have just booked in to come back for our third year. The house is spacious and very comfortable. What a great location too with the beach and Stony Creek reserve on the doorstep.

Great family get away house
This was the first time we'd managed to all be together as adults. Plenty of room for 4 couples and baby.
On the review card I wrote about the wall in the end bedroom on the left smelling of damp or mould. But couldn't be seen.

Great House
A huge, great house. A pity BBQ was on the front lawn not the deck.
TV's need updating so HD channels can be viewed.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2020
Thanks John for your feedback. The property has recently undergone a small update with a new kitchen and bathroom. From time to time we experience TV reception difficulties in Lorne.
The BBQ has been moved back to the deck as we were not aware of this until after your stay. We would loved to have known while you were at the property to have this fixed for you then. GORH

Thank you for your feedback. We have had the wall assessed and have found that the wall has salt minerals coming through. The owners have sealed the wall and are looking at a more permanent solution. GORH
